So I recently got this Kindle Fire HD 8.9' and wanted to root it for my parents. I'm having trouble finding a definitive guide to rooting it as I'm not that experienced in rooting. I've rooted my other devices, but only with the help of a video+text tutorial. I was wondering is there any good text guide I can follow to root this tablet? Thank you for any help.
P.S. I've seen the threads on how to root, am having trouble following them that's all

So for the last 7 hours i've been researching how to root/ install JB or another rom onto this brand new kindle i have running 10.2.3.
I've got ADB running and i've tried Sparkym3 and a few other root methods and i keep getting permission denied when i go to write fbmode or su
SO i'm at a loss, i'd really like to get this installed and working for my handicapped father's new kindle, its his xmas gift, and i know i'd prefer he be able to use google play and stuff.
Any help would be fantastic, this is really rattling my brain.

I just want a work around to be able to get google play, and how is this the wrong thread? I have a kindle fire...and a question lol
The information in this forum is for the 1st gen. Kindle Fire. To avoid having the methods here be misleading to anyone seeking help with their devices. That doesn't take away from the fact that someone was still willing to point you in the right direction for your device specificly. This is to prevent confusion for all involved and what you need is not in this forum.
And also the fact that following any of the guides in this forum could possible HARD-BRICK your 2gen kindle fire. Consider yourself warned

Hi everyone,
I am looking for someone to help me root my kindle fire 2, 7inch, non-hd please.
I have searched for many threads and methods, and found the Qemu method and Root with Restore.
When I try to run root with restore it does not progress past *daemon started successfully*, and with Qemu it does not detect my device.
Could someone please HELP me with this, tell me how you did it step by step?
I am running windows 7 w. bootcamp on my iMac.

Thanks for this, I used Bookcase's method first then a couple of others. In the end I got there.
Should I request for this thread to be closed or is it automatic? Seeing as it's been inactive for 2 weeks and is really just one link of importance.

Its not automatic. If you want to keep things clean you can report yourself to request the thread be locked. I've done it to myself in the past

Hi all,
I'm 100% new to rooting and just want something I hope is simple to do.
I would like to be able to use google play store/services on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (8.4.6).
I've seen a lot of threads here that go over rooting and installing a 2nd boot loader and other custom roms. However, I'm curious to know if its possible to just do this with only rooting and without the need of a 2nd boot loader or a custom rom.
Please let me know if this is possible and how I could do it.
No longer need help. Just decided to go with a full root/custom rom. Up and running KK4.4
Thnx
Youtube is your friend

I used this video. It's a bit fast and not very detailed. However, in the description he gives a web address for step by step instructions with pics. I recommend this for any noob out there.

Go into your system information and check to see if you have anything below system update 13.3.2.2 or 14.3.2.2 if you are below these root is possible. If you are rooted you can have a better working android interface versus if you are not rooted. But if you cant get root you can try side-loading some launchers in order to try to get them to work, but without root you will have problems with wallpaper, and widgets.
Hope that helped.
